While much of the world spent this last Tuesday hard at some wage-earning work, contributing to society at large each in some unique way, I on the contrary spent all of Tuesday (and a good part of Wednesday) making a map to complement Jordan’s “Should you find yourself on Lincoln Road” post.

We would have posted an existing map, but after an exhaustive search — I scanned the first three pages of Google Images — I realized there weren’t any good ones available. Even Google Maps falls short by placing the Lincoln Theatre squarely on Washington Avenue (proof).

So, spotting a pressing need, I decided to exacerbate the problem. In the process, I found that I possess yet another obscure skill — hand-drawn cartography — that will never translate to a monetary income.

I drew the buildings and icons using the Sketchbook Pro App on the iPad. The roads and street names I did with good old-fashioned paper and pen. Putting these formats together, I created what no one was asking for: a hand-drawn map of Lincoln Road. Still, I envision a time when tourists and locals alike will be navigating Lincoln Road by way of this map, pointing and wildly gesturing. I take no responsibility for poked eyes.

As it stands, the map is incomplete. I want to replace the Baires logo with an empanada, but that will require more laborious research, i.e., eating empanadas. (I also plan on eating more pizza, but that’s neither here nor there.)

Since the map is not drawn to scale, here are the names and addresses of the places should you actually want to find them.
